Porsche OEM Leather Visor Help...

I'm Looking for some detailed photos of the Porsche full leather visors for a 997.2 Cab. I have a really good local leather shop that claims to be able to match them using my stock vinyl visors as a start. They just need some detailed photos to confirm and give me an accurate quote. Any detailed photos would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I've researched this in the past and almost pulled the trigger here for $250, not clear if there is a core exchange: http://www.classic9leathershop.com/p...d-porsche-997/

In the end I stayed with the vinyl ones but removed the airbag warning sticker. Since I have a coupe, it didn't really matter. Cab's look way better with leather though.

Thanks for the link. I spoke with him today. They can certainly to it as well. Seem like finding the right color leather hides to match is the issue for him and my other source as well. Still looking.....

Did he put the warning stickers on the other side? If not, why didn't he remove the sticker from the mirror covers?

Should have asked differently - looks like vinyl was re-wrapped in Alcantara so probably no stickers on the front side, just the ones on the mirror covers, correct? They look great!

I understand now. Yes, you are correct. The vinyl visor was recovered (actually, covered over) with Alcantara. So, no stickers can be seen as they are covered up. The only ones you see are on the mirror lid.

Don really did a nice job. I think it was around $200ish about 3 years ago.

...and thank you for the compliment!

They're hard to remove. Get these instead. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-Sun...sAAOxyzGlQ8-rA

Be careful putting them on right and they'll cover the stickers and are pretty much invisible. Had them on all 3 997's. I don't know what the rectangular labels included here are all about. All I had to cover up on my 997's were the oval labels on the back of the visor.

Thanks for the link for the visor stickers. I ordered as soon as I saw them on ebay. Ingenious solution.

While we’re on the subject, does anyone know where to get a replacement plastic piece that covers the mirror? Or do I need to source a whole new visor? 997.1 TT Cab
